This past weekend saw us hosting the second edition of Afresports at the GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World in Cape Town. The big focus of the event was the Fortnite Festival which brought the first custom lobby experience to Africa. 

As the dust settled on the weekend, there were the usual winners and losers across all titles, but we hope that for all attendees and competitors, the weekend was an enjoyable one, and that gaming stood out as the real winner.
